Reflecting his contribution to the history of accountancy, the volume studies the development of accounting in an international context.

The 19th century development of the profession in the UK and Australia is examined by Tom Lee and by Edwards, Carnegie and Cauberg; Lee Parker looks at the topical area of professional conduct; Richard Morris charts the influence of England on Australia in the development of one type of corporate legal form; Bell, Peasnell, Tweedie and Whittington analyze aspects of current value accounting; Steve Zeff adds to his work on political influence on standard setting by looking at a recent US example; Gray and Roberts seek to explain patterns of foreign listing on the London Stock Exchange; finally, Segun Wallace studies the development of accounting research in the UK.
